"More than a century ago, social activist Mary Harriman founded the Junior League in New York City as a direct result of her work with recent immigrants in the settlement houses on the Lower East Side. Her vision was to establish a channel to promote social responsibility and an opportunity to positively impact the community at large. Since its founding in 1901, the Junior League has evolved into one of the oldest, largest and most effective women’s volunteer organizations in the world, encompassing more than 155,000 women in 293 Leagues in four countries. For more than 100 years, we have been on the forefront of social reform, identifying problems — pollution, illiteracy, domestic violence, foster children without a safety net — and finding effective solutions."
